Is a college degree useless?
Manage episode 335122005 series 3373910
In this reflective episode of the "Revolution From Your Bed Podcast," we approach the age-old debate of higher education's worth from the unique vantage point of living with a chronic illness. Should we invest in college, tapping into our parents' savings and potentially accruing debt? Or are there smarter, less financially burdensome avenues to consider? As someone intimately familiar with the unpredictability of health-related expenses, I dissect the pros and cons of committing to a traditional college path versus alternative educational routes.
From the silent rooms of chronic illness to the bustling halls of academia, we explore the tangible and intangible costs of college. We'll delve into how these decisions are compounded by the financial strains of managing a chronic illness, where every dollar spent on education is a dollar less for potential medical costs. I'll share insights on how to weigh the long-term benefits of a degree against its immediate impact on your health and finances. This episode is not just about deciding if college is worth it; it's about making choices that serve our health, aspirations, and financial realities in equal measure.
